“A Samsung phone user in France says her Galaxy J5 smartphone caught fire and exploded on Sunday. The model is different from the Galaxy Note 7 that has been recalled worldwide,” The Associated Press reports.

“Lamya Bouyirdane told The Associated Press on Monday that she noticed the phone was very hot after she asked her four-year-old son to pass it over during a family gathering at her home. She said she threw the phone away when she realized it had ‘swollen up’ and smoke was coming out,” AP reports. “‘I panicked when I saw the smoke and I had the reflex to throw it away,’ said Bouyirdane, a mother of three in the southwestern French city of Pau.”

Enjoy the steady decline cook. Idiot.
